The school board members were in
fine fettle la-t niht and n generous
mood, but their biLr-lieartedne-;s wus
not clastic enough lo induce them to
advance the teachers a month's pity,
or even a half month's. However, to
offset this, they pnfcsed u resolution
lo pnrcha.-e the liiuh school band a
bit; bass horn, and authorized Super
intendent Hillis to make all necessary
purchases of eiiiipment for ihe hih
school and rade schools.
Much b'.finess was transacted and
various improvements suiiestcd, in
fdudiiiir Ihe estahlishnu'iit of a niht
commercial school, and the hiring of
a part of the Xatntorium in which to
teach the pupils physical instruction.
Pay When 1Mk.
I Many of the school teachers, fol
lowing the loiitr vacation, are tem
porarily straiped for funds, and
board members have been reiiuested
by a number of them lo have the
board pa- legislation to advance all
teaHiei-- a month's or half monlirs
pay. laM-iiiuch as Ihe present state
of the treasury would not permit
this am no salaries can lie paid un
til the school's share of tlie recent
half yearly tax payments has been
reeived from the county treasurer,
which may no! be for several weeks,
the bojird would be unable to advance
salaries without borrowing the nec
essary money.
Tli ere lure, the members, deeming
tluil the ,-redil of the leaehers was
jic-t us uootl as the board's dodged
around I lie isae and se cminuly
granted the teachers' request by
passing a resolution to pay the en
tire hi'M mouth s salary just as soon
as funds are available.
This was done with perfectly sol
emn faces, and then as the absurd
ity of the resolution's meaning all at
once dawned noon them, tlie buand
members had to snicker a little. J
Tor Vifilit School.
The possible need for a commercial
nijiht sclioid, now that there is no
commereial college in Medford, was
brought up liy Superintendent Hil
lis. There have been maav rcipieMs,
audi''1' id, lor the establishment of
I, ami he merely referred
! I hi.- situation for ihe board's eonsid-
tiou.
i'lrreein-r Hint stich a school would
a ood tiling, declarei that the
dition of the school district's fin
anees would makV it prohibitive, nnd
saiil that he would oopoe establiMh
injr a nieht school until after the
war. Other incinher- were rather
non-eommitlal, beyond aiireeinu- that
a niht sidiool would be a yood tiling. I
A resoliitmn was finally passed to
have a special committee appointed
to investigate into the subjeet from
all angles and make a report at a
special uiceiiujj of ihe hoard to be
called as soon as (heir report was;
ready, Mr. Xordwick acting as pres
ident of the board in the absence of
Mr. Palmer, appointed Mr. Phipps
and Ir. Kedell as this committee,
with Superintendent Hillis as advis
ory member.
Ask Public Sentiment.
In the meantime the board desires
thaj the citizens L'eiierally make
known their wishes in the matter to
Superintendent Hillis, as well as all
persons who feel that they would like
to attend such a nijiht school.
Superintendent I lillis reported to
the board 'that the lotal enrollment
for this year up to Ihe present time
in the Med ford schools was 71 less
than last year. The present enroll
ment is HMKi nnd !nt year's was
1K(7. The hijrh" school enrollment
now is ;tJfl, as eomparied with 'MH
last year. However, because of the
apportionment of many hiurh school
students in tin frraile buildings, there
are L'(ir students nt the hi-h school
buildintr, whereas last vear there
were L'liO in the building. Still the
building is too crowded for the vari
ous hih school' activities.
Altho there is a physical instructor!
vet the lack of a suitable room at the I
liij:h school huildimr prevents the
teaching of Hivsical instruction, Su
perintendent Hillis )ioiuted out. Del
siiiiiresled that room for teaching
physical iiir-triK'tion niiht be rented
at t he Nntatonum, in conjunction
with the basketball netivil ies.-
lr. Porter ami Mr. Phipps were
appointed a committee to investigate
into this situation and report their
findings to the board.

(From Portland Journal.)
So great was the jum of people
eager to buy Rogue river pears and
apples as offered by the Progressive
Iiuslness Men's club at 106 Fifth St.
yesterday that Captain .lohn Moore
at police headquarters had to be
called upon to send a special detail
some of the'women would be Injured.
The sale was anounced to take
place at 9 o'clock. As early as S
o'clock people were waiting. Nearly
every form of conveyance except
wheelbarrows was utilized to carry
moved.
Apples proved to be the more popu
lar. The entire supply of Jonathan
and Winter Banana apples were sold
within a quarter of an hour after the
doors were opened. At 10 o'clock
away the purchases. Automobiles and only 100 boxes of pears were left.
i.i m.rv.i haskota nerfornieil the and there were 100 people in lino
same Bervice. Daintily garbed women
and hard worked mothers with chil
dren hanging to their skirts competed
for places in line. ';
The fruit had been Inspected upon
its arrival Saturday, but anxiety to
make sure that only sound apples and
pears would be offered caused the
'Progressive Bupsiness Mens c'lub to
waiting to buy.
About midnight last night one of
Eads' auto fruit trucks, collided with
the Cadillac auto being driven by Em
erson Merrick, at the corner of Fifth
street and Central Avenue. No one
was Injured, but Mr. Merrick's car
was badly Injured.

The Food Administrator Writes Us:
"The use of baking powder breads made of corn and other coarse flours instead of
patent wheat flour is recommended by the Conservation Division of the Food
Administration. The wheat needed for export is thus conserved, and at the same
time healthful food for our own people is provided. The circulation of recipes pro
viding for these uses would be of assistance in carrying out our plans."
